▎ 摘　　要

Hybrid nanocomposites reinforced with a mixture of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown improvement in filler dispersion while providing a cost-effective alternative to CNT monofiller composites. Depending on their composition, hybrid composites can exhibit electrical performance superior to either of the constituent monofiller composites due to synergistic effects. In this work, we develop a three-dimensional tunneling-based continuum percolation model for hybrid nanocomposites filled with hardcore particles of elliptical GNPs and cylindrical CNTs. Using Monte Carlo simulations, parametric studies of the filler content, composition and morphology are carried out to analyze the conditions required for synergy in percolation onset and electrical conductivity. Our results suggest that for hybrid systems with well-dispersed fillers, the electrical performance is linked to the number of tunneling junctions per filler inside the percolated network of the nanocomposites. More importantly, hybrid composites filled with specific morphology of GNP and CNT, exhibit synergy in their electrical performance when the monofiller composites of each of those exact fillers have similar percolation onset values. The simulations results are in agreement with relevant experimental data on hybrid nanocomposites.
